Last time I "acuired" greygate polish it cost £1-10-oo from the back door of an raf station! still got some-good product!
could probably use toothpaste then you will get a fresh minty smell off it when you are out in the rain.
It would take more than Brasso to get rid of a 303 calibre scratch!
In the 1961/2 I acquired a tube of "Perspex Polish No. 3" as supplied by the plastics division of ICI of Welwyn Garden City.
I quote the instructions on the tube:
"Make up a soapy solution of the polish in warm water. Wash the component in this solution, remove excess with a damp cloth, allow to stand for a few minutes and polish lightly with a dry cloth. Alternatively, Perspex may be cleaned with a damp cloth into which a small quantity of polish has been rubbed and then lightly polished with a dry cloth. Important, cleaning cloths should be clean and free from grit.
I wonder whether grades 1 and 2 were coarser?
Oh well before I put it on Ebay does anybody want the tube...... the stuff still appears to be useable. First person in the UK to PM me their address will receive this historic and useful item by post.... or I can take it to Kempton at the end of the month.

Only one person askd so he is the lucky winner...... watch out all you genuine concours people ..... there must be brownie points for using period polish....... now I have some fifties Simonize powder somewhere.
Sent an e-mail to 3M's in the UK (The makers of this kit) to see whether it could be available here, have yet to get a reply.In the US, there are plastic headlight cover polishing kits available, like this: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/d...dlight+polish_-1_464&keyword=headlight+polish
